Chat

It’s been a while since something interesting came out of the Nokia Beta Labs, but today they have released Nokia Chat - an IM (instant messaging) application which also utilises Nokia Maps to show your location and also presence - something very similar to the Jaiku S60 client.

Phillip Schwarzmann takes us through the introduction video demonstrating the use of Nokia Chat, head over to see the video. The application has been tested with and is compatible with the following models and should also work with some other models listed below, which haven’t been tested.

Tested with:
Nokia N95 8GB, N95, N82, N81 8GB, N81, N76, E71, E66, E51, 6290, 6120 Classic, 6110 Navigator

Should work with:
Nokia E90 Communicator, 6124 classic, 6121 Classic, 5700 XpressMusic

The basic features:

Meet one-to-one

Chat helps you hook up with no hassles by sending your real-time location in an instant message. This unique feature lets your friend pinpoint your position and share her own on Nokia Maps.

Share Your Location

Chance meetings with friends are made easy. Pick out your places on Nokia Maps and choose where you want to publish your presence. Chat automatically updates your location status when you arrive at your hangouts.

Update Your Status

As well as sharing your location, you can edit your status with what’s going on and stay up-to-the-minute with your friends. Status symbols on Chat show when you’re available, on the phone, or away.

Message Friends

Chat puts quick and easy instant messaging at your fingertips. You can also record and send voice messages to friends.

I’m heading over to install it and give it a go, expect more feedback on this soon.
